  • Demographic Consequences of Superabundance in Krefft's River

    Demographic Consequences of Superabundance in Krefft's River

    i The comparative ecology of Krefft’s River Turtle Emydura krefftii in Tropical North Queensland. By Dane F. Trembath B.Sc. (Zoology) Applied Ecology Research Group University of Canberra ACT, 2601 Australia A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Applied Science (Resource Management). August 2005. ii Abstract An ecological study was undertaken on four populations of Krefft’s River Turtle Emydura krefftii inhabiting the Townsville Area of Tropical North Queensland. Two sites were located in the Ross River, which runs through the urban areas of Townsville, and two sites were in rural areas at Alligator Creek and Stuart Creek (known as the Townsville Creeks). Earlier studies of the populations in Ross River had determined that the turtles existed at an exceptionally high density, that is, they were superabundant, and so the Townsville Creek sites were chosen as low abundance sites for comparison. The first aim of this study was to determine if there had been any demographic consequences caused by the abundance of turtle populations of the Ross River. Secondly, the project aimed to determine if the impoundments in the Ross River had affected the freshwater turtle fauna. Specifically this study aimed to determine if there were any difference between the growth, size at maturity, sexual dimorphism, size distribution, and diet of Emydura krefftii inhabiting two very different populations. A mark-recapture program estimated the turtle population sizes at between 490 and 5350 turtles per hectare. Most populations exhibited a predominant female sex-bias over the sampling period. Growth rates were rapid in juveniles but slowed once sexual maturity was attained; in males, growth basically stopped at maturity, but in females, growth continued post-maturity, although at a slower rate.

Zug Department of Vertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, District of Columbia 20013-7012 USA; Email: [email protected]. A population of Carlia occurs on Pulau Tindjil off the southwest tip of Java, distant from all other populations and species. A set of unique traits identifies the Tindjil Carlia as a new taxon; it is described herein. The new species has its closest affinities to populations (C. peronii, C. spinauris) living on Timor. Although the latter species has been considered a synonym of the former one, evidence is presented indicating that each name represents a unique species, a lowland and a montane one, respec- tively. Comparison of Carlia species is aided by the establishment of groups of pre- sumed related species; these species groups are named and morphologically defined here. KEY WORDS: Squamata, Scincidae, Carlia peronii, Carlia spinauris, Lesser Sunda Islands, Java, geographic variation, new species, intrageneric relationships, nomenclature. Carlia, the four-fingered skink, is a moderately diverse genus of Australopapuan lizards.

Marine and Atmospheric Research, Centre for Environmental and life Sciences, Floreat, Western Australia, Australia Abstract In 1997, Perth Zoo acquired six pink-eared turtles (Emydura victoriae) from the wild for display in the reptile facility. There is very little documented information on pink-eared turtles in captivity. This article looks at the reproductive biology, ecology, behavior, diet, and captive husbandry of the species. Eight clutches of eggs were documented over a 2-year period with an average clutch size of 10 eggs. Egg size was recorded with three clutches incubated to hatching. Ten hatchlings were maintained for a growth and development study.
  • Field Techniques in Bird Studies Course Report

    Field Techniques in Bird Studies Course Report

    Field Techniques in Bird Studies Course Report Nov. 22nd – Nov 28th 2015- Lauren Gilson & Joe Porter Each year a small group of ornithologists meets at the Eyre Bird Observatory for a short course on techniques for studying birds. In 2015, course leader Tegan Douglas was presenting her own bird study results to ornithologists at the Australasian Ornithological Conference and Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry conference, and so the course was led by Lauren Gilson. Bush fires almost blocked the southern migration of participants, but after determining that we would be safe from fire danger and smoke at Newman Rocks, Lauren and four of this year’s participants departed for our rendezvous with herpetologist/naturalist Joe Porter. At the Observatory, students William Oversby (supported by BirdLife WA), Angus McFarlane (supported by the Sowilo Community High School), Annika Baynham, and Hayden Ajduk were joined by former EBO caretakers/current course participants Danie and Delene van Dyk, and current EBO caretakers/former course participants, Alan and Wendy Pilkington. Wendy instructing Angus while Lauren records Surveying along Kanidal Beach Alan with Danie, Hayden & Annika The mist-netting session got everyone’s hands onto some birds, with New Holland Honeyeaters and Silvereyes volunteering in equal numbers to help train our flocks in extracting and processing captured birds.

Seven of 51 processed birds were recaptures, with most having been recently banded in the preceding months (the oldest from 2014).
